(Instrumental)
2. INDIGO
Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae
Sed nos eam novam existimemus
3. THE OBSESSIVE DEVOTION
Don't you ever blind me
Don't be a foolish thief
Am I?
Don't you ever bring yourself to grief
Don't you ever blind me
Don't ever trick my mind
Did I?
Don't you think that you can lie to me
Did I lie?
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon - I will be your earth
To which you can return - Safely or injured
I feel only misery for myself when
I look through the eyes of someone else
Don't you choke and bind me
Don't be a bleeding heart
Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
Let us play!
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
If he is your moon - I will be your earth
To which you can return - Safely or injured
I feel only misery for myself when
I look through the eyes of someone else
I can't even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity
Don't you dare me
I dare you
You don't care about me
I care about you
Don't you touch me
Liar
Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero
I prefer to be unhappy with you
Rather than being depressed without you
I belong to someone - I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you - You do
I prefer to be a liar just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone - I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you
One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down - I realise that
All I wish is to get rid of this obsessive devotion
Venia ad vitam aeternam
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis
Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar
Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura
I have raised myself for you
But now I regret
Venia ad vitam aeternam
This is the end
4. CRY FOR THE MOON
[Chorus]
Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever
Indoctrinated minds so very often
Contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against
Don't try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes
Behind the scenes opens reality
[Verse]
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget
[Chorus]
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
And the extinguisher loses its immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of Eden
Where the apple
Where the apple gets a youthful
A youthful face
[Verse]
[Chorus]
Forever and ever
[Verse]
You can't go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence
5. INTERVIEW
(No lyrics)
6. BEYOND BELIEF
Wisdom - Knowledge - Science
Develops - Always - Better - Faster
This is the final end
A voice in the wilderness
Fights a futile war
Because the strong are deaf
More so then before
Massive disregard
Shows what to expect
Scars on top of scars
Racing toward a future we don't have
Fear is taking over me
There is nothing I can see
[Chorus]
The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death
Wisdom - Knowledge - Science
Develops - Always - Better - Faster
We have to guide ourselves
For we cannot stand
One more false pretence getting out of hand
Now fear is the driving force
Taking over us and finding out this source
May turn out to be too much to bear
Fear is taking over me
There is nothing I can see
How could this have come to be?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Wisdom - Knowledge - Science
Develops - Always - Better - Faster
Defeats us
Science - Knowledge - Wisdom
Destroys us - Always - Ever - Faster
This is the final end
Thirteen moons - The path to walk
Thirteen moons - The path to talk
Restore all that belongs to us
Thirteen moons - The way to speak
Thirteen moons - Is what we seek
Restore all that was left behind
[Chorus] (x2)
[Bridge]
7. BLANK INFINITY
Trying to keep myself afloat upon this stream
But a thought is pulling me down
Pulling me all the way down
[Pre-Chorus]
We are wandering towards a blank infinity
And extinguishing will now be the only way
To diminish your sins
This vortex can't be filled up again
A hole in space and time
Do you cry to the heaven's high
When you're confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder why
These leaden tears will never dry?
They'll leave behind so many shadows in my mind
High in the sky - All of the clouds are passing by
Wait for the storm - Wait for the rain
Wait for the tears to fall down on me
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you cry to the heaven's high
When you're confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder why
These leaden tears will never dry?
They'll leave behind so many shadows
Living in me - Living in all the memories - In my life
Do you wonder why
These tears never dry?
Time forced into life
Living in my mind
Can we ever find a way in this labyrinth without end?
Labyrinth has no end
Which turn should I take?
Left or right?
Should I stay?
Should I be the one?
Do you cry to the heaven's high
When you're confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder why
These leaden tears will never dry?
They'll leave behind so many shadows
This substance in time forced into life
But still exists because it's here
Living in me - Living in all the memories - In my life
Lost inside blank infinity
8. NEVER ENOUGH
Can't you hear me screaming - Once again?
Voices you can't hear
Because you are consumed and incontent
With everlasting greed
Don't you see me on my hands and knees?
Begging and bleeding
You're smiling as you bite the hand that feeds
But will you never see?
[Pre-Chorus]
Always wanting what your eyes can't see
Needing what your arms can't reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can't hear
Feeling what your hands can't touch
Thinking you're incomplete
[Chorus]
Enough
It was never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
Never enough
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
Sacrificed my life to be with you
Why did you leave me?
There's nothing more from me you can consume
'Cause you are incomplete
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Everlasting need
Would you please
Answer me and
Make me complete?
Everlasting greed
Would you please
Set me free
Fulfill all my needs
And make me complete?
[Chorus]
Never again will I be with you
No promise eternal carrying us through
I finally made up my mind this time
This is the end - I've drawn the line
Never enough to devour your greed
9. INTERVIEW
(No lyrics)
10. CONSIGN TO OBLIVION
How can we let this happen and
Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end?
The only thing that counts is the prosperity of today
Most important to us is that our bills get paid
Our good intentions have always been delayed
[Chorus]
How can we let this happen and
Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end?
When we will stand in front of heaven's gate
It will be too late
[Verse]
Try to unlearn all that you've learnt
Try to listen to your heart
No - We can't understand the universe
By just using our minds
We are so afraid of all the things unknown
A must we appease is the lust to get laid
Nothing really matters - Just devouring our prey
Our good intentions have always been delayed so
Our generous acts have always come too late
[Chorus]
[Verse]
We just flee into a dream that never comes true
Low - Low - Low to the ground we feel safe
Low - Low - Low to the ground we feel brave
Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti
[Bridge]
Open your eyes - We're not in paradise
How can't you see this stress is killing me?
Fulfil your dreams - Life is not what is seems to be
We have captured time
So time made us all hostages without mercy
Seemingly generous fooling ourselves
Selfishly venomous time tells
Too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition
Our thoughts create reality
But we neglect to be
So we're already slaves of our artificial world
We shouldn't try to control life
But listen to the laws of nature
[Bridge]
Low - Low - Low to the ground we feel safe
Low - Low - Low to the ground we feel brave
We all think we're generous
But we only fool ourselves
The only thing that matters is
Our way and our vision
Selfishly we're venomous
But you know the time tells us
There is more to life than our
Higher positions - Race for perfection
Better - Faster
We must return to the laws of the nature
Free ourselves from madness

THE CLIPS
12. THE PHANTOM AGONY
I can't taste you
I can't think of you
Do we exist at all?
The future doesn't pass
And the past won't overtake the present
All that remains is an obsolete illusion
[Chorus]
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony
Do we dream at night
Or do we share the same old fantasy?
I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
The age-old development of consciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much
So that our instincts will fade away
They fade away
What's the point of life
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
What we get is what we see - The Phantom Agony
A te spiritus noster devoratur et nostra anima capitur
The lucidity of my mind has been revealed in new dreams
I am able to travel where my heart goes
In search of self-realisation
This is the way to escape from our agitation
And develop ourselves
Use your illusion and enter my dream
13. FEINT
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
[Chorus]
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
All the right answers
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
As untouched snow turns red
Innocence dies
[Chorus]
This black page in history is not colourfast
Will stain the next
All what remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
This black page in history is not colourfast
Will stain the next
And nothing seems in life
In dreams like what was meant to be
[Chorus]
I shiver
14. QUIETUS (SILENT REVERIE)
The culprit - You act before thinking
Caught in your ignorant sin
And lying to your own reflection
You thought you could hide
Deprived of my own innocence - Denied
The infinity of recurring torment
Your comeuppance
See - Hear the torture inside
Devouring what was left of my pride
You thought it's not going to happen to you
Thought you could hide
Deprived of my own innocence - Denied
[Chorus]
The infinity of recurring torment
Your comeuppance
Dwelling in a mind - Mixed up and
Your regret has spread over the sea
Deprived of my own innocence - Denied
[Chorus]
15. THE HAUNTING
Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that - That you were her
Just like the river disturbs
My inner peace
Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs
One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can
[Chorus]
Somewhere in time
I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep
I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep
How could that first time recur?
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her?
Helena is dead to all - Dead to all
Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I'll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I corrupted from within
Leave - Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can
[Chorus]
Follow me into the light
Like ice on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
Or leave me tonight
I've gone too far to begin all anew
With someone like you
Somewhere in time
I will find you and love you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You've fallen deep
I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep
16. NEVER ENOUGH
Can't you hear me screaming - Once again?
